I should have checked this yesterday.

"switchdesk" is broken in this release.  Selecting Plasma or KDE will not work as expected.

While the message displayed is

echo "Please specify one of either Plasma, GNOME, XFCE, FVWM, IceWM or WindowMaker."

There is no checking in the script for Plasma.  And you'll get the error message

[egreshko@f31gq ~]$ /usr/bin/switchdesk-helper Plasma
Unknown desktop requested: Plasma

With KDE, at least on a fresh F31 install, there is no "KDE (K Desktop Environment)".
It is now call "KDE Plasma Workspaces".

Also, with the current plasma-workspace-5.17.4-1.fc31 there is no longer a /usr/bin/startkde.
